The Solomon Islands are an island country in Oceania. The United States is currently supporting ROC-aligned separatists in Malaita Province led by Daniel Suidani.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
The Australian military took control the Solomon Islands between 2003 and 2017.
In April 2022, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare signed a security agreement with the People's Republic of China. The United States and Australia both threatened to invade the Solomon Islands.[1]
